  • Patent number: 11120362
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to identifying a product in a document. A computing machine accesses a product mention in a scientific or research-related text, the product mention including one or more attribute values for a plurality of attributes, each attribute being associated with either a single attribute value or no attribute value. The computing machine determines that the attribute values of the product mention correspond to two or more candidate product matches in a product directory. The computing machine identifies, based at least in part on stored data related to the scientific or research-related text, a product match from among the candidate product matches, the product match corresponding to the product mention in the scientific or research-related text. The computing machine provides an output of the product match for storage in conjunction with the product mention in the scientific or research-related text.

  • Patent number: 11048707
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to identifying a product in a document. A server accesses a document including scientific or research-related text. The server divides the document into a plurality of tokens, each token comprising a part of the text that logically comprises a unit of information. The server computes, for each token in the plurality of tokens, a score corresponding to whether the token corresponds to a commercial product, the score being computed based on a list of features of commercial products and weights assigned to features in the list. The server determines that the score exceeds a threshold score. The server provides, in response to determining that the score exceeds the threshold score, an output representing that the token corresponds to the commercial product.

  • Patent number: 10990631
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to linking documents using citations. A server accesses a stored document in a data repository. The server determines a set of candidate citing documents that cite the stored document. The server obtains, for each candidate citing document from the set, first information representing an impact of the candidate citing document taken as a whole and second information representing a citation context within the candidate citing document. The server determines a subset of citing documents, from the set of candidate citing documents, based on the obtained first information and the obtained second information. The server provides a digital transmission of the stored document, including visible indicia of the subset of citing documents, for display at a client device.

  • Patent number: 10824682
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for enhanced tracking of user interactions with online documents, such as, in accordance with various embodiments, interaction tracking on a sub-document level of granularity and/or interaction tracking that involves storing one or more interaction parameters (e.g., an identifier of the document or of the interacting user) for each interaction.

  • Patent number: 10733256
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for creating, storing, structuring, displaying, enhancing, and/or referencing publications and related content in an online user network are described. In some embodiments, documents are stored in the form of individually addressable document elements in conjunction with an ordered list of the document elements. Updates to a document can then be analyzed to identify omissions of document elements and/or additions of new document elements, which can be reflected in an updated list of document elements.
